Hmm, I see your point. But I still think B is the correct answer because it's not directly related to personnel management.

You know, this question is making me flashback to that time our boss tried to apply risk management principles to our team meetings. Talk about a waste of time!

Haha, I can just picture the HR manager trying to 'estimate the significance of a risk' when they should be focusing on things like recruitment and training. Option B is totally off base.

Hmm, I'm torn between A and D. Both seem like important guidelines, but I guess A is the one that's not directly related to the hiring process.

C is the obvious choice. Providing training and development opportunities for staff is a key part of effective personnel management.

Option B seems completely out of place here. We're talking about personnel management, not risk assessment. Definitely not the right answer.
